I think it's a great idea. I also get copies of all my records - with the sole exception of the psych ones. I want them, I'm not afraid to see what's in them, but I am afraid to ask for them. I would ask for the records from any doctors you aren't still seeing - just to make sure you get them before they are destroyed. I'm not sure how long they have to keep them but that's a good thing to find out. Once you have them you can always leave them in a sealed envelope.
I really like the account of the therapist who reads the previous weeks notes. I think it would be great if they would all do that. It would take the guesswork out of figuring out what they think is important - and save you from those horrifying times when you realize they've been on the wrong track for months.
